I have not really celebrated Christmas since I was 16 years old. I became an agnostic, then an atheist and a Buddhist. Memorable X'mases??? When I was about eight years old I got the most amazing robot. It was about 18" tall and walked, swinging its arms, turning its big metal head and shooting sparks from its chest. On the foot it said -"Made In Occupied Japan".
In Toronto I knew a "hippie" couple, Garth and Yana(they had renamed themselves) and they lived on the second floor above a Spadina shop, maybe Quartzman's Art Supplies,and they had a six foot high "Hanukkah bush", hung with real candy canes and hand strung popcorn. The Jewish Christmas tree was of course a huge, healthy weed plant - a gift that kept on giving well into the New Year.
once thought i saw santa in my house cheers!
